    Replacing an older model router with this one, and we are all impressed with the speed and strength. We needed it to reach outside to a second building, and it does! It exceeded my hopes for sure.

    This is a very nice combo router for anyone who doesn't want to use the one that your ISP will rent you. The Wi-Fi is amazing on this, and I haven't had any major issues!

    This works great. Purchased when we lived in an older house with plaster walls where the internet company's routers failed this worked great. We have had no issues with it.

    Solid, stable performance on a busy network.

    After having issues with a couple other DOCSIS 3.1 modems to support Xfinity Gig-Blast service, this modem provides very good upload & download speed, and the stability that's been lacking in my network for awhile (daily modem/router resets, etc). Worth noting that I am also running a Netgear Tri-band router through this device as we have about 40 connected devices total, including a fridge, garage door opener, several Alexas, 3 TVs, 2 PS4s, a few lights and 4 Ring security cameras/doorbell devices. While it's pricier than other devices, it's worth not having to hassle to frequent network reliability issues.

    When it's working, this device gives great speeds. But that's when it's working. It has cut out unexpectedly multiple times. I've reset it, done factory resets, and made in menu adjustments to mitigate this, especially on the 5Ghz band, to no avail. I paid $35 for shipping in order to send my original router to Netgear for a replacement. The replacement was refurbished (my new unit was just over 3 months old) and still had the same issues. I've replaced this unit with a Motorola modem and Asus router and had no issues, more consistent download speeds (games on the netgear would sometimes download at 20Mbps, sometimes 150Mbps, the current set up consistently stays above 150Mbps, most times above 200Mbps), and an additional 5Ghz band. The Netgear unit is very disappointing.

    This router/modem has done a great job with our xfinity service. It gives great coverage for our two story home. The only issue is that it is not vpn compatible.

    I got this to replace the Xfinity leased modem and it covers a much wider range than the leased model. Now, I don't have to pay a monthly charge for leasing a modem from the cable company. I highly recommend this cable modem.

    Great Cable Modem Router!

    I bought this nearly 2 years ago because Suddenlink Billing forced me to in order to have five $60 Service Call Fees removed that didn't fix anything. Some of them showed up after 5 months, so I had to wonder, if they weren't valid then, what made them valid now. I proved the issues weren't my equipment with this and the charges were removed, so I kept this Modem to save the monthly charge for Suddenlink's. It's a great Cable Modem Router and has served me very well. I've been buying NETGEAR products for decades and recommending them to my customers. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with NETGEAR, and this was no exception.

    Works great and helped reduce a lot of latency issues with spectrum, compared to the modem you get from them. I even noticed faster more consistent download speeds as well. Great product.
